* According to the report of the Department of Industry and Trade of Ho Chi Minh City, the city is a densely populated area and a large food consumption market of the whole country.

In addition to providing food for more than 10 million people, the city is also a processing and trading hub providing agricultural products and food for neighboring localities and for export.

With the need to consume a large amount of food, while the food production in the city only meets 15-20% of the demand, the rest must be imported from other provinces and cities or imported through official channels, unofficial channels that do not control the origin and safety of food.

Mr. Nguyen Nguyen Phuong - Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Trade of Ho Chi Minh City - proposed to soon build a pork trading floor model in Ho Chi Minh City in the current period.

Allowing the pilot implementation of organizing pork trading on the basis of utilizing and exploiting the existing technological infrastructure and legal basis of the Vietnam Commodity Exchange, the trial period is two years.

Explaining this, Mr. Phuong said that to put pork on the market, there must be input standards, and producers are forced to adjust their own standards to meet the needs of the market.

Therefore, it saves the inspection step and increases the responsibility of the manufacturer. Currently, many developed countries in the world have applied it very effectively.

In addition, when listed on the market, pork must be slaughtered industrially, not manually, pigs will be automatically brought to industrial slaughterhouses in Ho Chi Minh City to solve the current hot food safety issue.
